I am a convicted felon and I wanted to know if I can use a cross bow to hunt with.

Yes, you can use a cross bow, even a muzzle loader, just not a rifle, shotgun or handgun.

Just a little hard to hit the rabbit with the cross bow.

You see, with the purchase of a crossbow, or the purchase of a muzzleloader (black powder firearm), one does not have to go through the typical background check as one who is buying a rifle, shotgun, or hand gun.

Therefore, anyone over the age of 18 is allowed to purchase a crossbow or muzzleloader.

My boyfriend used to hunt rabbits with a crossbow all the time. He was quite good at it.
